Ziz has a couple of really solid builds for this league. I don't know that ED/Cont will take you to Atziri or w/e, but it's great at getting you a solid base to plan a stronger build on. Selfcast DD has been pretty breezy, and should be pretty good at popping bosses. Necromancer or Inquisitor. Blade Blast Blade Fall Chieftain is a bit of a pain to get to level ~38, but when you hit 38 you could probably actually play while sleeping until ~90.
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
The number of times I die when I'm spamming Flame Dash to get out of a situation is too high. The game gives no indication that it's not working, I'm just stuck, hitting a spell that isn't on CD, that I have plenty of mana to cast, and isn't locked out, but instead of dashing I just stand there and die looking like an idiot. I'm fairly sure Arcane Cloak doesn't actually do anything except take half my mana. It's never saved me from anything.
Every time I start to get in to this game this is the kind of clunkyness that turns me off.
Flame Dash has a distance it can travel, if you click further than that distance, your character will walk forward until they can Flame Dash and *land* where you clicked. I'm assuming what is happening is you are clicking too far and your character tries to walk to the spot they can flame dash, but enemies are blocking you.
The fix is to click on Flame Dash on your skill bar an select the "always attack without moving". With this on, when you click too far, your character will flame dash as far as they can in that direction, but you won't necessarily end up where your cursor is.

Just played an Armageddon Brand Elementalist that was pretty ridiculous and braindead. Cast your shit and then just focus on not taking damage. Pretty tanky, needs no uniques. You can throw my account in Path of building; username is Frolic, character is BridleForTheDonkey.
Atziri is pretty simple if you have reflection immunity.

Think it's because I don't have anything I'm really into to watch on my other monitor, and leveling in PoE in softcore doesn't exactly demand my full faculties.

before there was dot damage all over the place many moons ago i made a max block reflect witch using that, tempest shield and the anvil
highly POWERFUL
actually i used that in my immortal jugg build because he had infinite health and couldnt die im pretty sure (didnt need resistances because of % reductions, immunities and enormous flat hp regen every single frame due to broken mechanics)
only downside was it did no damage and crashed the servers when i scaled it
So I started playing this league after a few leagues off. There seems to be some weird performance issues? Any time I load into a zone (particularly towns) it takes a shockingly long time to load assets. Massive texture pop-in in the world and in inventory that tanks my framerate for a good 5-10 seconds. Anyone else experience this/have a solution?

I had this issue. Switching to Vulkan solved it mostly (there's still texture pop-in on initial load), but my games also crashed 3-4 times since league start and I think it may have crashed that many times in total the past 5 years.
I dunno if it's a Vulkan thing that's causing crashing or not. The hitching, pop-in, and massive frame drop on Fullscreen Windowed all seem to have been resolved, so I'll take the occasional crash.

So I focused on getting my surviviability up last night and it's helping. I'm at least 30% in every resist, have a lot more ES, have two life golems up and am starting to understand how to pre-load Arcane Cloak and get out of trouble early rather later and so far I feel a lot less glass cannony.
Flame Dash still feels very flaky at times but I'm starting to anticipate it being flaky now. Also someone pointed out that some rituals lock movement skills...yeah, that was definitely happening and me not noticing. So that was part of of the issue though not the complete story of my love/hate relationship with Flame Dash.

On hit, never had any luck with DoT builds. Links might be off as I spent an exalt on gear immediately before I stopped playing.
Armageddon Brand for packs, cremation and flammability for anything that doesn't immediately die. Golems because I, uh, had free slots? I couldn't tell you if they're actually worth using. Especially after the elementalist rework.

golems are cool they keep u company, they run around, sometimes they die sometimes they live but is that not how it is for us all?
worth noting stone golems taunt even with zero investment, frost golems chill cos of their snowy ground and lightning golems give u a small added lightning damage aura on occasion

So there's clearly some new bug now where tribute gain is now calculating correctly.
The last ritual tends to either provide no tribute or slowing tribute. I'm not sure what's causing this, but I'm not able to get above ~2k tribute in the last several maps now.
This game has too many buttons now and I'm too old to really enjoy playing it
It felt like I picked a relatively simple build but I still have to press BV every 3 seconds, right-click through some mobs every 5 seconds, turn on plague bearer every ~12 seconds, enduring cry every 10 seconds, turn on withering step every 5 seconds during rare/unique mob fight, press 3 flasks every 5.5 seconds, play loot tetris, and left-click 300 times every map because they still haven't implemented such game-ruining technologies as picking up every currency orb within X distance whenever you pick up one of 'em.
I just can't do this sort of thing anymore and enjoy it; controller support when? It makes me pretty sad.

Put Withering Step in your left click slot, you can move as normal and it will fire off as you're moving.
Never worry about it again.

Just in case you're interested in watching someone who's been playing since day 1 paid beta be incredibly awful and die to trash because he wasn't paying attention:
https://pastebin.com/wLwEuNx7 would be what I'd run if were starting over again. I run 1 Stone, 1 Lightning, 2 Flame golems, but I'm not sure you shouldn't just run 4 flames. The build is largely bottlenecked by Cast Speed, so I'd recommend stacking as much as possible. You could probably also do Occultist, or maybe Necromancer and focus on Cremation?

In fact, I'll probably be level 70 before I ever equip Cyclone.

The upside is BL is hella satisfying to use. Just watch its slow ass mow down entire legions.

Flicker Strike is technically a movement skill, so...

so long as it linked should work
just double checked on my staff character and yup its triggerin

it should work but it is not
